While it may not be practicable for Gait 10
get up as grand a demonstration on that
occasion as may be desirable, it has been
suggested by number that the citizens of
this place visit Sacramento on our natal
day, and enthuse as much as we wish If
our Capital City neighbors undertake a cell
ebraton, it will be grand affair, for it is
proverbial that Sacramentans know no
such word as "fale' in any enterprise they
inaugurate While the subject has been
discussed but little here, we mention the
matter more with view of obtaining the
general sense of the community in regard
TO it than otherwise. We want an express
sion of local public opinion.
